Dear Katie and Kristie, While driving back to VA from IN, I had over 11 hours to think. That can get me in trouble sometimes, but this time I started thinking about advice I would give you knowing what I know now from my 54 years experience in life. 1. The quote that kept coming to my mind is by A.A. Milne: “If ever there is tomorrow when were not together... there is something you must always remember. You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. But the most important thing is, even if were apart... Ill always be with you. You both are tough cookies and have been blessed with intelligent minds. Believe in yourself! You can do anything that you put your minds to. 2. Wear sunscreen! That song was right. No matter how invincible you feel when you are young, your skin will age, so take care of it now. 3. Appreciate what you have. I have found that when you dont take for granted things that others would give anything to have like good friends, good health, a warm place to sleep, a job, and family who loves you, etc., your life is filled with joy. Realize your blessings are so abundant that you just feel that life is good. 4. Dont sweat the small stuff! There will enough big things, so who cares if you have to pick up socks off the floor or something is left out that should be put away. 5. Take care of your body by eating healthy and exercising. Again, you think your body will always be able to do whatever you want to do, but as you get older those things that were easy as a 25 year old are a lot harder as a 50 year old. Its okay to indulge on those special occasions, but make it a habit to take care of yourself. 6. Find a career that you love. You do it most of your life, so make it something that you jump out of bed and cant wait to go do. 7. Dont be afraid to fail. Its okay to take a chance. If you hold back, you will always wonder what would have been. 8. Enjoy the moments. Those are really the best times in your life. Its the simple moments that make up most of your life. 9. Praise God! Find a church that you enjoy going to so you can join with others to worship and learn about Gods purpose for your life. I love you both so much it hurts at times. I want your lives to be fulfilled with all your dreams. Just know that as long as I live, I will be there for you anytime you need me, and when Im not here anymore, I will always be in your hearts.
